And the last All-Australian Saints backman was? A Jones in 2004 and previous to that Danny in 1988 and prior to that Bob Murray (the man who gave us the '66 flag). The fact the Trevor Barker had to play in key positions said it all. He was a great, the last backman who could take the telling (and tu...

No doubt about the skills of the Geelong players - on both sides of their bodies. We don't seem to have had a skills coach for quite a while. However, as others have said the core Geelong group is no different to that beaten by us repeatedly when we had our best team. But that team is now a thing of...

Flexibility during the game was denied by the available personnel. Blake did well until the WC got on top via number 11 on our number 7. Lenny's coming back from a major knee injury so we can't expect much more from him this year. I would have moved Blake into the ruck for two or three bounces to se...

Tell the Truth
My advice to Steven Baker is simple; tell the truth i.e. what he believed happened. This will not guarantee a just decision as we have witnessed over the last two years following games against Freo, where an umpire fibbed and the AFL neglected the rules in favor of a "process" to award Fre...

Obviously. And I might say, his game up until the point he was injured was almost perfect from the team perspective - keeping Bell away from the play. The other Harvey (Mark) was well and truly out coached today. It's remarkable how many goals we kick when we don't play a lose man in defence all the...

Harvey's last game?
Two minutes before three quarter time, Harv's quad went. Quite innocuous. But it's always a four week job, especially for someone of his age. I could hardly believe it. He does not deserve it. But the truth is, unless we win one of the next two ( quite possible) and then the first two finals (rather...

Both Clarke brothers have excellent although not identical skills. Both suffer form the same problem - the ability to get injured (not confined to them unfortunately). When fit and match hardened, they will be champs, but not his year. Injury has meant alack of pace for X and and a lack of match pla...

Gee, he carried the team for weeks. Let's see what happens this week and next before we leap to judgement. It's time to play Brookes - we simply have to see whether he can play in the big time so give him the last three games- we know Clarke and Rix can't play - and Fergus Watts for much the same re...
